Add CC-BY 4.0 as LICENSE

[skade]

This adds the CC-BY license as license to this repository, as discussed in #63, and rust-lang/rust#25664 (comment).

This requires sign-off by all contributors. I'll assemble a list.

[skade]

Considering our contribution pattern and the nature of the work here, I'd argue that we don't need sign-off from everyone: https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org/graphs/contributors

My proposal would be to just ask people with more then 10 lines of additions. All others only contributed minor typo fixes, while the work is clearly the work of the other authors.

@aturon, would that be fine?

SGTM

[skade]

@pnkfelix sent me his agreement via IRC.

[skade]

@aturon can you - as project lead - speak for @huonw or @brson (which, to my knowledge, made the substantial parts of their contributions as Mozilla employees?)

[skade]

@aturon Ping. I would really like to close this before the end of the year.

[steveklabnik]

Everyone at Mozilla is on vacation now, until the second.

[skade]

@aturon Ping again. I'll remove myself from handling this issue on Jan, 5th if it doesn't move forward.

[skade]

@ashleygwilliams Just noticed that through publishing a full blog post, you became a substantial author and need to sign this off as well.

[ashleygwilliams]

i approve and checked the box by my name. thanks for the diligence on this @skade !

[aturon]

I'm willing to speak for @huonw and @brson, yes. Let's merge this!
